| Re: Trans cooler lines pulled out of radiator??? My car is running from 6-7 in the morning and doesn't stop until 4-5 in the evening. I'm a sales manager on the road and all day, the car was running fine, shifting fine etc.
I was waiting on a red light. The light turned green. I pressed the accelerator normally when suddenly, the rpm went from 2k to 4500 rpm. I said to myself, thats strange! I gunned it and the car would accelerate very slowly but the rpm was at like 5k. I pulled over and as soon as I pulled over, the check coolant level showed up on my DIC. I shut off the engine, open the hood and white smoke everywhere! It was like -20C outside, freezing like hell!
The transmission line's connector that are in the rad is part of the radiator and cannot be changed or repaired because its a one piece unit with the radiator. The problem wasn't the transmission line, it was the connector that breaks and cracked and you could see a lot of transmission fluid + coolant everywhere.
1350$ later, its fixed! Since then, every time I do my maintenance on my car, I check the connector to make sure everything is perfect! |
